Total Eclipse of the Heart”: Portuguese Brazil version
August 21, 2025
When I was in Belem, Brazil, in the Amazon for six months in the summer of 1990, this was one of the top three songs played in the dance clubs of Belem. They played the English version by Bonnie Tyler. The Brazilians are the most romantic people I’ve ever met. They don’t just listen to romantic music, watch romantic TV shows, and read romantic novels; they live them.
Belem is an amazing place. You won’t find people like the Belemese anywhere else on Earth.
